The Thing About Firecrackers

Since it's new year, well, it always starts during December 21st, most of the kids, and also same with the adults, like popping firecrackers around. It's a noisy way to welcome the New Year! Personally, I like seeing fireworks, fire fountains, and the likes but I really don't like being the one who's popping them around. I think of it as really dangerous and with all the things I see through news and the internet, I get ultimately scared of what could happen to me in the end. I'm that sarcastic! Haha.

I just wanted to post a safe reminder of how you can prevent accidents like this. It's better to have a safe, noisy, and fun new year rather to be in a hospital crying your tears out.

• Think of the precautions of the firecrackers you're about to use.
• Look around if it fits to use it in that situation.
• Be sure that you know how to use it and how are you going to be able to manage them.
• Always be mindful if there are people who are going to walk around.
• Give a head start to the people if you're gonna pop something so they would know right away.
• Think of the space you have and if it's suitable to use the kind of products you wanna use.

I hope those simple guidelines help you avoid a harmed New Year and Enjoy a safe and extravagant one! :)

If ever you are injured, oh I hope not, here are the following guidelines given for different situations: 

Instructions

1. First Degree or Minor Fireworks Burns

   • 1
     Hold burned area under cold running water to reduce the heat level. This also helps clean the wound.
   • 2
     Dry the burned area with clean dry cloth.
   • 3
     Apply a topical anesthetic burn spray or use aloe vera lotion or cream to moisturize the burned area.
   • 4
     Administer an analgesic like acetaminophen or aspirin as needed.

   Second Degree or More Serious Fireworks Burns

   • 5
     Extinguish any fire on clothing or in the hair by smothering with a blanket or having the victim roll on the ground.
   • 6
     Immerse affected areas of skin in clean, cold water while arranging medical attention.
   • 7
     Dry the wounds gently with clean cloth and apply an antiseptic cream or an inert hydro gel product.
   • 8
     Wrap wounds in clean soft cloth such as towels, sheets or gauze.
   • 9
     Keep affected areas elevated and move the victim to a hospital or other medical treatment facility.

Few tips:

Refer a burn larger than the palm of an adult hand to a doctor.

Watch for shock symptoms in serious burn victims.

Don't use ice to cool fireworks burns. Doing so causes further tissue damage.

Don't apply ointments, butter or steroidal salves to burns because they seal in the heat.

Ask about known allergies before administering any medication.

Don't place the fireworks burn victim in a tub or pool of cold water. Use cold compresses instead. Immersing the whole body causes core body temperatures to drop dangerously.

Take care not to rupture blisters caused by burns unless they are infected.
